Read the following comprehension passages and answer the following questions
In the world have we made health an end in itself? We have forgotten that health is really a
means to enable a person to do his work and do it well. A lot of modern medicine are
concerned with promotion of good health. Many patients as well as many physicians pay very
little attention to health; but very much attention to health makes some people imagine that
they are ill.
Our great concern with health is shown by the medical columns in newspapers, the health
articles in popular magazines and the popularity of the television programmes and all those
books on medicine. We talk about health all the time. Yet the only result of this obsession with
health is the rise in the number of people with imaginary illnesses.
The healthy man should not be wasting any time talking about health; he should be using
health for work, the work he does and the work that good health makes possible.

(ii) Write summary. (2 Marks)
Warming caused by greenhouse gas emissions is not linear: it appears to have lapsed in the
early 21st century, a phenomenon known as a global warming hiatus. A new method for
predicting mean temperatures, however, suggests that the next few years will likely be hotter
than expected.
The system, developed by researchers at CNRS, the University of Southampton and the Royal
Netherlands Meteorological Institute, does not use traditional simulation techniques.
Instead, it applies a statistical method to search 20th and 21st century climate simulations
made using several reference models to find 'analogues' of current climate conditions and
deduce future possibilities. The precision and reliability of this probabilistic system proved to
be at least equivalent to current methods, particularly for the purpose of simulating the
global warming hiatus of the beginning of this century.
The new method predicts that mean air temperature may be abnormally high in 2018 -2022
higher than figures inferred from anthropogenic global warming alone. In particular, this is
due to a low probability of intense cold events. The phenomenon is even more salient with
respect to sea surface temperatures, due to a high probability of heat events, which, in the
presence of certain conditions, can cause an increase in tropical storm activity. Once the
algorithm is 'learned' (a process which takes a few minutes), predictions are obtained in a
few hundredths of a second on a laptop. In comparison, supercomputers require a week
using traditional simulation methods.
Write a precis and give appropriate title to the 'passage given below:
Trees give shade for the benefit of others, and while they themselves stand in the sun and
endure the scorching heat, they produce the fruit of which others profit. The character of good
men is like that of trees. What is the use of this perishable body if no use is made of it for the
benefit of mankind? Sandalwood, the more it is rubbed, the more scent dyes it yields.
Sugarcane, the more it is peeled and cut up into pieces, the more juice dyes it produce. The
men who are noble at heart do not lose their qualities even in losing their lives. How does it
matter if others praise them or not? What difference does it make whether they die at this
moment or live prolonged? Happen what may, those who tread in the right path will not set
foot in any other. Life itself is unprofitable to a man who does not live for others. To live for the
mere sake of living one's life is to live the life of dogs and crows. Those who lay down their lives
for the sake of others will assuredly dwell forever in a world of bliss.
